Three Rooks
Consulting
Operations leadership for small and mid-size manufacturers.
Three Rooks Consulting is the practice I'm building to bring more than 10 years of supply chain and operations leadership to companies that need steadier operations and results they can measure, without a big-firm price tag.
Areas of expertise
Five areas, one goal: a plant that runs the way it should
- 01
Supply Chain Management
Suppliers, purchasing and planning that keep material arriving when the plant needs it, at a cost the business can carry.
- 02
Operations Management
Scheduling, capacity and daily routines that fit how the plant really runs, so the team spends less time firefighting.
- 03
Logistics and Materials Management
Inventory, warehousing and freight managed so cash isn't sitting on the shelf and customers get what they ordered on time.
- 04
Continuous Improvement
Finding waste and fixing root causes with the people who do the work, then building the habits that keep the gains.
- 05
Project Management
System launches, new lines, facility moves and turnarounds, run with the discipline of a certified Project Management Professional.
How I work
Not a generic consulting firm
Results you can measure
Before any work starts, we agree on the numbers that matter to you: on-time delivery, inventory, cost, lead time, safety. Then we track them, so you can see whether it's working.
Practical solutions
Fixes sized for your plant, your budget and your people. No binder that sits on a shelf, and no system your team can't run once I'm gone.
Operational leadership
I've led these teams myself. I work on the floor with your supervisors and managers, and leave them stronger leaders than I found them.
Who I work with
Built for manufacturers, not Fortune 500 budgets
- 01
Owners of growing manufacturers
Sales are up, but late shipments, stockouts and expediting costs keep eating the margin. You need someone who has run this before to steady it.
- 02
Plant and operations managers
You're firefighting every day. You want clear priorities, simple routines and a plan your team can actually follow.
- 03
Leadership teams facing a big change
A new system, a new line, a move or a turnaround. You need one plan, clear ownership and someone to keep it on track.
Getting started
Three steps, plainly
- 1
A conversation
We talk about what's going wrong, what you've tried and what good would look like. No cost and no pressure.
- 2
A clear look
I spend time with your people, your numbers and your floor to find the real causes, not just the symptoms.
- 3
A plan you can run
You get a short, practical plan with owners, dates and the measures we agreed on, and I stay alongside your team while it takes hold.
What I bring
Experience earned on the floor, in the Navy and in the classroom.
